I'll try to be a specific as possible, but this issue is beyond mysterious and hard to explain. It all started after reformatting my PC
Basically, upon booting up my computer, everything seems fine. However, after doing some gaming, watching some videos, ect. Some seriously bizarre issues come up.
The first is, if I'm gaming, and I'm in a chat like say, steam chat, or skype, and playing lets say rocket league, or another game with an in-game voice chat, and someone speaks in the in game voice chat, it seems to trigger horrible FPS and audio lag.
...it gets weirder...
BUT when the person I am in the standalone voice chat program with starts to talk, the lag subsides, but only for as long as they keep queuing their mic and not a second longer.
Seemingly related, is the next problem. As soon as or after the previously mentioned issue occurs, youtube or facebook videos will either not play, or will play without sound. If they don't play, it usually just freezes on the first frame of the video and stays there. Refreshing does nothing.
Also when this issue occurs, and I test my speakers in the configuration portion of the control panel, they fail to test.
The only reliable fix, mind you extremely temporary fix, is restarting my windows audio. Upon doing this, all of these issues are seemingly resolved. All back to normal, until of course, I restart my game, and someone speaks in the in game chat, and then the issue is immediately back.
I have searched the web all over looking for some driver I must be missing, removed and reinstalled the ones I have, updated them, everything I can think of. I've googled and read every forum I can find and it seems like I'm the only person on planet earth whos ever had this exact issue. I'm desperate.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit on an
AMD 6300FX desktop.
Gigabyte mobo,
Radeon R9 200 series GPU,

If you need any more specific info, please let me know, I have googled, and poured over this for months.
